Description

A priest becomes a vampire, another mans wife is coveted, a deadly seduction triggers murder. Thirst is the new film from director Park Chan-wook (Old Boy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance), and already a box-office smash in Korea, Continuing his explorations of human existence in extreme circumstances, the director spins a tale that he conceived and then developed over several years with co-screenwriter Chung Seo-kyung, inspired by Émile Zolas Thérèse Raquin. Sang-hyun (played by top Korean star Song Kang-ho, of The Good The Bad The Weird, The Host and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) is a priest who cherishes life; so much so, that he selflessly volunteers for a secret vaccine development project meant to eradicate a deadly virus. But the virus takes the priest, and a blood transfusion is urgently ordered up for him. The blood he receives is infected, so Sang-hyun lives but now exists as a vampire.

  • Köstlich!

    Written on 23. May 2010 by Zoé.

    This customer review refers to a alternative version.

    Köstlich, erotisch, grausig! Hier wird der (in Korea verbreitete) opfertriefende Katholizismus mal in seiner ganzen kanibalischen Dimension ausgekostet! Eine Parodie mit Seitenhieben in alle Richtungen - ich war vom ersten biss zum letzten Biss am grienen. So erfrischend mehrdeutig, lustvoll und witzig erzähltes Kino hab ich schon lange nicht mehr genossen.... Hätte nur noch gefehlt, dass sich in den letzten Sekunden des Films die Handbremse löst....
